Science vs. God: False Dilemma

I. They do not contradict each other
a. Definitions
1. Theory: well-supported explanation of nature
2. Fact: observation that has been repeatedly confirmed
3. Evolution: genetic changes in populations of organisms over successive generations
4. Big bang: the universe originated about 20 billion years ago from the violent explosion of a very small mass of matter of extremely high density and temperature
b. Science draws no conclusion of whether a God exists or was behind it
c. How do they not contradict?
1. "God created heavens and the earth"
2. "Earth is 10,000 years old"
3. "God created everything in its present form"
II. Does evolution require faith?
III. Is evolution nondisprovable?
IV. If we all evolved from a single cell, where did that cell come from? Endosymbiont theory http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/Endosymbiosis.html
V. Evidence before conclusion
VI. Evidence for evolution
1. Universal common descent: http://youtu.be/G0UGpcea8Zg
2. Similar DNA sequencing
3. Endogenous retroviruses: http://youtu.be/qh7OclPDN_s
4. Proteins: http://youtu.be/mA7BE3mEb64
5. Pseudogenes: http://youtu.be/8ZvTmgCk1Lo
6. Chromosome 2: http://youtu.be/zi8FfMBYCkk
7. Atavisms: http://youtu.be/FZj0P_NmMCQ
8. Fossil record: http://youtu.be/QWVoXZPOCGk
9. Transitional fossils: http://youtu.be/O4GdZOlPrX8
10. Continental distribution of animals and plants
11. Adaptive radiation: http://youtu.be/N7mLxvNTSog
12. Ring species: http://youtu.be/PjcFSy1KCTI
13. Antibiotic resistance: http://youtu.be/zjR6L38yReE
14. E. coli long-term evolution: http://youtu.be/vUhYGgtwNkE
15. Lactose intolerance: http://youtu.be/A3iIfL8q0_k
16. Peppered moth: http://youtu.be/LyRA807djLc
17. Speciation: http://youtu.be/LEGQu3cm3CE
18. Artificial selection: http://youtu.be/i3uToVWZkWM
VII. Evidence for Big Bang
1. Hubble's law expansion of space: http://youtu.be/4NyS2qSAKek
2. Cosmic microwave background radiation: http://youtu.be/VQf9aLWp3x4
3. Big bang nucleosynthesis: http://youtu.be/OtclDnJVpDo
4. Large-scale structure of the universe: http://youtu.be/FFlzyxSQhTc
VIII. Conclusion
1. Science deals with "how?" not "why?" and not whether a God exists
2. Science is not out to disprove religion

You're missing the point bro. You are right that science and religion don't contradict but history and religion certainly do

For what its worth creationists (you may call us that, I prefer it over cretard) accept speciation. Our denial of it is a myth which is spread by your side, Dawkins in particular. I have a video on Ring Species where I use a clip of a famous creationist discussing speciation and how it obviously exists.

While there is no philosophical antagonism between theism and science, science precludes the possibility of considering religious ideas because it employs methodological naturalism. While this is technically an epistemic weakness of science as a philosophy, in practice it's ultimately the most reliable form of human knowledge. The question is not whether you can posit the existence of God outside of science, because you certainly can, but the issue is that God is by def. not science.

Science and Religion[God] cant contradict each other, thats what i want to say but people don't understand.
